Jenna wasn't ready to go to college and she definitely wasn't ready to start her new life as an adult. She wanted to go back to the good ol' days when she didn't have to worry about how things were going to be, and pretend she was a princess from a far off land. Then she runs into Demitri, an old childhood friend who she lost touch with. He tries to make her see that the future isn't all that scary, and is an adventure waiting to happen.
